Father's Day is this Sunday and, I have to confess, I need to do a bit more shopping. The SousPug and the Evil Minx already got their gifts ready but me, well, I'm a bit behind the 8-ball. So, I figured, if I'm on the last minute gift shopping fence, there might be a couple others in the same situation. Heads up – both Williams Sonoma and Sur La Table are running killer summer sales, including outdoor/grilling finds so we have you covered with some great gift ideas for Dad.  Plus - I think … [Read more...]

Bakerella To Visit King of Prussia’s Williams-Sonoma This Friday

November 10, 2010 By 6 Comments

This has been quite the busy holiday season for cookbook ideas and it's only Nov. 10th. If you have an avid baker in your life, might I suggest picking up Bakerella's new book, Cake Pops: Tips, Tricks, and Recipes for More Than 40 Irresistible Mini Treats.  Of course, for those in the Philly area, she's coming to Williams Sonoma in the King of Prussia Mall this Friday at 1:00 p.m. From what I have heard, she's doing a Q&A session in addition to the book signing. I think I shocked … [Read more...]

May 6, 2009 By 4 Comments
Spice Collection

Colin Cowie debuted his Spring/Summer line for HSN today and, I have to confess, I spent quite a bit of time with my jaw to the floor going over the products. Some of the products, I had heard about in advance but my poor wallet is screaming at me.   Thankfully I was able to get cash back from Mr. Rebates but still... eeeks!  I did, however, control myself with a couple purchases I'm still thinking about. When it comes to entertaining, I swear by his products.  I've found that they are … [Read more...]

While doing a little retail R&R this weekend, you know this gal HAD to go to Williams Sonoma, right?  First of all, if you have the chance to go on a weekend, go.  The smells in there were amazing!  They did some demos on Sunday and were showing their Meyer Lemon Quick Bread but I digress.   They had on display the Penguin Sparkling Water Maker which is essentially a water carbonator.  I have to say, I'm a fan of the occasional bubbly water and soda.  Not to mention, sparkling … [Read more...]
